'North is not Tamil Nadu.' When speaking with Tamil Nadu folks, this is something that they frequently hear. According to Sukant, a vegetable vendor in Chennai's Chatpat neighborhood, "GST has made everything expensive" if the BJP or Narendra Modi are mentioned. Tamil Nadu receives no funding from the Modi administration. The PM never showed up, not even during a flood.
On the other hand, Chennai-based Bhagyalakshmi states, "I got the cylinder and also got Mudra loan." Modi ji needs to be given an opportunity as well, having seen everyone.
Now let's examine Tamil Nadu's trends in four areas:
1. It appears that the DMK-Congress coalition is the strongest. It is anticipated to receive 32–37 of the 39 seats. People are angry about things like corruption, yet there isn't a solid alternative to support.
2. AIADMK is struggling to remain afloat. The party's sole goal is to maintain its position as the second-largest party in the state. It has a partnership with DMDK. Three seats are expected to go to this coalition.
3. The BJP has invested all of its resources since it has nothing to lose in Tamil Nadu. The younger generation likes Annamalai, the new party president. Even though there may be a 2-0 split in seats, the BJP's vote percentage should rise from 3 to 15.
4. The BJP and AIADMK may have won 12–15 seats if they had run together in the polls.
On April 19, voting for 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu began in the first phase. This is a triangular contest. Congress-DMK is the strongest alliance. AIADMK has forged a second alliance with a few smaller parties. The BJP-PMK coalition is the third one.
Along with this coalition, DMK-Congress has also run in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. This partnership has not been broken up by any party. The BJP now has just one minor party, India Jananayaka Katchi. In terms of sheer numbers, this coalition is the strongest. The transfer of votes between these parties also proceeds quite smoothly. Together, they successfully contested the most recent Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
